Sounds good and glad you said white stuff as that 4 letter "S" word is foul language LOL Tomg

Hey Tomg,

I suppose one has to be considered a snowbird to join your merrier band, correct? Sound like you all are going to have a lot of fun and excitement and that includes you too, Bill! Sure would like to join you folks, but something is blocking my way. Might it be that 4 letter word that starts with an "S", do you think? Have a wonderful time, as I'll be wishing I was enjoying it with you along with hoping for an early spring.

Makes one glad now to have a piece of equipment like that! I didn't want to use that foul "S" word! I can't believe all the bad weather this year with all the global warming I here about on tv ! Hope the best for you. Tom

Looks like 6-8 rooms booked with 4 other couples that live locally riding but not staying at the motel. But for some reason that doesn't add up. There are possibly a couple more that are not listed with the group reservations. Tom

Your Carmel Status???

Tom,

I forgot to ask you about your Carmel order. Has your dealership given you a tentative date of delivery yet? I'm sure that you're wishing it would be available in time of your Snowbird Gathering. Maybe your dealership has a rental service as mine has. Since you placed an order, he should entertain giving you a deal. Unfortunately it won't be a Carmel, but a Venice wouldn't be too bad. Just a bit more difficult getting in and out.

As I pick myself back up off the floor from laughing, NO I HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN CONTACTED BY ANY DEALER !! One would have thought by now and as close to production as they are supposed to be, the dealers would have their prices for options so they can start making the deals but, who am I to think logically from a management back ground ! Patience is a virtue so they say!! LOL If the bad weather from the north pushes down here for the next couple of weeks, I guess I won't miss it so bad. But they are sure missing out on a lot of free advertising by me not having one this time of the year. Tom

 

[tomg]

I forgot to mention that no one has any idea of what of how the advertised canvas top will look like or attach to the windshield or be available. The doors and top are 2 of the most important items I am interested in being a long distance rider. Tom

OK folks, 2 weeks from today! To all that are coming WELCOME and be safe on your route here. Please try to arrive by 3pm as we will have a group get together at 4pm to discuss where we would like to ride and on which day. All decisions are made by the group. I have suggestions but yours are welcome also. See ya soon!

Tomg

Tom MJ and I might be running a little tight on the 3pm arrival. We will be leaving Key Largo around 9 so it will be close. Will text you if something happens on our way north.

Thank you Ted and all who participated with us this year as we did have a great time and met new friends. The weather got us again! We had temperature in the 80s the week before and back there again after we finished up this year, go figure!

Thanks Dean, you were asked about by others and I told them relocating and selling houses had been taking up your time lately.
